Curator's Note

Shuvaprasanna’s art delves deeply into Bengal’s historical, cultural, and emotional landscapes, interlacing themes of suffering, resilience, and the fragile interplay between reality and perception. This representative show captures his decades-long artistic journey, where his works become deeply introspective meditations on the human condition, often through the lens of illusion and ambiguity.

Shuvaprasanna’s art invites viewers into a world where reality and illusion are inseparable, each amplifying the other’s significance. His works confront the complexities of Bengal’s collective memory, exploring suffering, identity, and resilience not as isolated episodes but as interwoven threads in a larger narrative. This show is an invitation to reflect on history’s enduring marks on individuals and societies, compelling us to see beyond appearances into the layered truths that define existence.
